A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with red cushioned armrests, draped in flower garlands of red and yellow and wearing orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a white turban. The seated figure has long dark hair and receives offerings on a wooden table covered with apples, fruit and a silver tray. Around the throne, several men stand: a man in a white shirt bends forward with hands on the table's gold trim, a man in a yellow shirt holds an apple at left, and a man in orange robes stands behind the table. A black board on the back wall reads Dhyanapeetam and lists donor names. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by long swept hair, turban, saffron robes and rudraksha mala.
